There are shelves upon shelves of books, loosely organized into sections (through the lovely worker helped me find exactly what I was looking for). There are multiple floors and sections to Small World, so if you are coming to browse, give yourself a lot of time. I came on a lunch break so I didn't explore every room, but was able to purchase two local history books as gifts. There are other fun things to buy, like quirky art and vintage postcards. According to their Facebook page, they sometimes have live bands or meditation events. Possibly the best part is the super sweet shop kitty who enjoys pets.

Why are used second hand books so overpriced? :( I understand that certain titles may be rare or…read morecollectible, but many of these were ordinary, well-worn editions.

It's a bit of a hike from Rochester but was definitely worth a trip to check it out. There were so many books that were organized in helpful sections. The decor and overall vibe created by the layout was great as well. Books were reasonably priced, including a rack of paperback classics. The bookseller was very friendly and knowledgeable.

I appreciated the variety of books that were present in such a small shop and was even more impressed by the low prices.

The store clerk was friendly and sociable. Overall, this was a nice little find.

Miraculously, the owner knows every book like an old friend and can put his hands on it for you, pull together a selection based on topic, or source and find it for you. Places to sit and read. Easy to browse. Value is great - it's a used bookstore! Finally I love the location, in the heart of a beautiful Perry, NY, so this bookstore can be woven into a larger destination of shops, food and beverage, and near letchworth park and Silver Lake.

This book store is located in a small garage-sized side-building to the Cobblestone Museum itself. There is plenty of free parking behind the buildings. The bookstore is open even when the museum is not, as it is a pay-on-your-honor cash box system. Paperbacks are fifty cents, hardcovers are a dollar, and there of sometimes posted sales for particular authors and/or genres. This little shop is organized very well into genres, with the bulk of the collection being general fiction, but still a nice assortment of shelves for specialized fiction and non-fiction items. The last time we were in, my husband spent eleven bucks on a nice pile of mostly vintage sci-fi paperbacks, with a couple hardcovers. If you too are a bibliophile, and you find yourself in this neck of the woods of the quaint little Orleans County countryside, stop in to peruse the Cobblestone Museum Used Book Store. You will likely find some fifty-cent steals that benefit a good cause, with all sales in support of the museum. Enjoy this hidden gem bookshop!

I'd drive 45 minutes for a book hug--and I do…read more There are a lot of reasons to love Hamburg, NY--but at the top of my list is Turn the Page Used Books, a charming little haven where the books are used, the prices are kind, and the smell of paper and stories hits you in the face like a warm, nostalgic high-five. Once upon a time, I lived just 6 minutes from this gem. Now I live 45 minutes away, and I still make the trip. Why? Because walking into this place is my version of therapy. Yes, I'm the weirdo who openly sniffs the books. No, I'm not sorry. The selection is outstanding. I won't swear they have every genre under the sun, but I will say I've never left empty-handed--and I read everything from thoughtful nonfiction to weird fiction to "why is this cover so dramatic?" suspense novels. They've also got a fantastic large print section, which makes me look like a great daughter when I stock up for my mom. (Let's ignore that I walk out with twice as many for myself.) The staff? Lovely. Friendly. Helpful. Basically your dream book club, minus the pressure to finish the book on time. If you're into books and warm vibes, you're already one of the gang. Highly recommend. Bring a tote bag. Or three.

I left with a literal armful of books today and it's probably for the best that I had set myself a time limit for browsing. The sections are clearly labeled and sorted by author. If you're treasure hunting for favorite authors, bring a list, because you will want to look for ALL of them. Bonus: easy to see pricing, and very reasonable. Plus the staff was friendly of course! (and they have a step-stool if you're short and want the books on the top shelf because of course I do.)
